Yesterday I talked to someone who’s starting a post-graduate diploma in Chinese culture,business & language in University College Cork.

I thought that was spot on, just what the country needs: people able to deal with the Chinese.

However I was shocked to find out that there were unfilled places on the course.  There are six doing the Diploma course and four doing a Masters.  UCC couldn’t fill the places.

Is this an example of poor marketing by UCC?  

Are Irish graduates unable to see that a post-graduate qualification in Chinese culture & business is incredibly appropriate to the world we’ll live in?

What’s going on?  Maybe all post-graduate courses are struggling to fill places?  

On every imaginable scale, this UCC course should be oversubscribed & have a waiting list… IMHO
